How to Come to Grips with the Real You13 Mar 202600:45:04

There are three questions everyone, regardless of culture, economic status, or even religious conviction will ask themselves. Who am I? Where do I belong? And what am I supposed to do? Chip shares how you can find answers to those questions and then how to begin applying them in your life today.

Three questions we all ask ourselves:

  1. Who am I? (Identity)
  2. Where do I belong? (Security)
  3. What am I supposed to do? (Significance)

Why is it so hard to answer these questions?

  • Genesis 3:8-13

Three obstacles to getting right answers:

  1. Fear rooted in SHAME.
  2. Hiding rooted in INSECURITY.
  3. Blaming rooted in denial.

God’s Answers: Romans 12:3-8

  1. Who are you? -Romans 12:3
    • The Command: Think ACCURATELY about yourself.
  2. Where do you belong? -Romans 12:4-5
    • The Reason: You have a ROLE to fill.
  3. What are you supposed to do? -Romans 12:6-8
    • The Practice: Discover and DEPLOY your spiritual gift.

Never forget who you really are!

  1. God uniquely created you – you are ETERNALLY VALUABLE. -Psalm139:13-14
  2. God placed you in His family – you are UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPTED. -Ephesians 3:19-22
  3. God gifted you to fulfill His purpose – you are IRREPLACEABLY SIGNIFICANT. -Ephesians 2:10

How to Get God's Best for Your Life11 Mar 202600:48:01

Would you like to get God’s best for your life? Chip continues in Romans 12, and reveals how you can get God’s best.

Negative Command:Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world…”

  • Passive voice
  • Imperative
  • Present tense

Translation: “Stop allowing yourselves to be molded by the influences and pressures of this present world system.”

Application: We are to be SEPARATE from the world’s values. -1 Jn. 2:15-17

Summary: The world’s system seeks to SEDUCE us from our love for Christ by PLEASURE, POSSESSIONS, and POSITION.

Positive Command: “…but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

  • Passive voice
  • Imperative
  • Present tense

Translation: “But allow God to completely change your inward thinking and outward behavior by cooperating wholeheartedly moment-by-moment with the Spirit’s renewing process.”

Application: Are you shaped more by the WORLD or the WORD? -Mat. 4:4; 2 Cor. 3:18

The means of transformation: “…by the renewing of your mind.”

  • Renewing your mind is a continual REFOCUS of a Romans 12:1 perspective.
  • Renewing your mind will always involve a BATTLE.
  • Renewing your mind is a SUPERNATURAL work of the Spirit.

Practical methods for “Renewing Your Mind”

  1. HEARING God’s Word -Rom. 10:17
  2. Use your TIME wisely. Be in the Word.
  3. READ God’s Word -Rev. 1:3
  4. STUDY God’s Word -2 Tim. 2:15
  5. MEMORIZE God’s Word -Psa. 119:9,11
  6. MEDITATE on God’s Word -Jos. 1:8

A tool for transformation: The “2PROAPT” Method

How to Give God What He Wants the Most09 Mar 202600:52:35

What does God want from you? When you boil it all down, what is God looking for from you and me? Chip reveals the one thing that God is looking for from his children.

Introduction: “Risk, reason, and the decision-making process” –Excerpt from Harvard Business Review

Case Study #1 – John’s Civil War Coins

Case Study #2 – Sheila’s Picasso

Questions to ponder:

  • What are the risks?
  • What are the potential rewards?
  • What would you do?
  • Why?

Three Principles:

  1. Truth – What is true about the issue?
  2. Knowledge – Have you educated yourself about the issue?
  3. Faith – Do you believe it to the point of action?

Case Study #3 – Ancient Treasure -Mat. 13:44-46

  • Thesis – Total surrender is the CHANNEL through which God’s best and biggest blessings flow.
  • Definition – “Total commitment is the alignment of one’s motives, resources, priorities, and goals to fulfill a specific mission, accomplish a specific task, or follow a specific person.” -Webster’s Dictionary
  • Spiritual Insight – Through which lens do you view total commitment? Positive vs. Negative

The Problem: What does total commitment look like in our relationship with God? How does it work?

The Answer: Romans 12:1

The Command: “OFFER your bodies”

The Motivation: “The MERCY of God”

The Reason: “Spiritual act of WORSHIP.”

What does He want most?

  1. He wants you!
  2. All that you are and all that you have fully surrendered to Him.

Why surrender to His Lordship? -Ps. 84:11

  • Because total surrender is the channel through which God’s best and biggest blessings flow.

The Question: Are you ALL IN?

God's Dream for Your Life05 Mar 202600:43:38

Becoming a Romans 12 Christian, is the keystone teaching of Living on the Edge. It is the heartbeat of all we do and what we are about. If you're just dipping your toe in the water of "spirituality," Chip will engage you. If you don't yet have saving faith in Jesus, Chip will help you know why your eternity rests on it. If you do, he will untangle some of the issues you still struggle with and spur you on to a deeper, more fulfilling, commitment.

5 Key Relationships:

  1. Relationship with God: SURRENDERED to God -Romans 12:1
  2. Relationship with the world: SEPARATE from the World -Romans 12:2
  3. Relationship with yourself: SOBER in Self-Assessment -Romans 12:3-8
  4. Relationship with believers: SERVING in Love -Romans 12:9-13
  5. Relationship with nonbelievers: SUPERNATURALLY Responding to Evil with Good -Romans 12:14-21

Warning – Romans 12 is not a “try-hard” moral code to live up to, but a faith response to what God has already done for us.

  • Romans 1-3: SIN - Our problem that separates us from God.
  • Romans 4-5: SALVATION - God’s solution in the work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
  • Romans 6-8: SANCTIFICATION - Living your new life in God’s power and growing progressively in Christ-likeness.
  • Romans 9-11: SACRIFICE - Living in confidence because God is in control and keeps all His promises…

Resolving Conflict Peaceably27 Feb 202600:54:54

How do you handle conflict? Are you a person who bursts out in anger or are you someone who completely shuts down? In this message, Chip explains why neither of those approaches work well and offers a third option to resolve conflict in marriage. Don't miss how you can radically transform your relationship!

How to resolve conflict peaceably:

I. The command – we are to deal with our mates as Christ deals with us. -Colossians 3:13-15

  1. “Bear with one another” – cause of tension
  2. “Forgiving one another” – hurt and/or offense
  3. “Whoever has a complaint” – personalized, ongoing
  4. “Just as the Lord forgave you” – required response
  5. “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts” – let God be the umpire
  6. “Called into one body” – priority of unity
  7. “Be thankful” – focus on what we have, not what’s lacking

II. We all respond to “tension” positively or negatively.

III. How to “DIFFUSE” conflict in your marriage

D - DEFINE the problem on your own. -Proverbs 15:14 & 21:2

I - INITIATE a time to talk. -Matthew 5:23-24

F - FOCUS on the “perceived” problem, not the person. -Proverbs 18:19

F - FEEL their pain as though it were your own. -Proverbs 17:17

U - UNCOVER the root problem. -Proverbs 20:5

S - SET things right between you. -James 5:16

Effectively Communicating (God's Love to Your Mate)25 Feb 202600:56:33

Tired of misunderstandings? Chip shares how to move past hurt feelings and start having genuine heart-to-heart conversations with your spouse today.

How to effectively communicate:

I. The command – Put on the proper attire -Colossians 3:12

  1. COMPASSION – Empathy to action vs. cynical -Matthew 9:36
  2. KINDNESS – Whatever is helpful, beneficial vs. critical -Jeremiah 9:23-24, John 4
  3. HUMILITY – Their needs first, posture of a servant -Philippians 2:5-11
  4. GENTLENESS – Strength under control, your emotions -Matthew 11:28-30
  5. PATIENCE – Endure with a good attitude -2 Peter 3:8-9

II. Why the “clothing” metaphor is crucial to biblical communication

  1. “Old clothes” must be taken off. -Colossians 3:8-9
  2. The new self requires “new clothes”. -Colossians 3:10-11

The Principle: Who we are determines how we “dress” (communicate from the heart)

III. The problem:

  • We have settled for techniques and self-help tools to change how we speak, and to modify our emotions and behaviors to improve compatibility; rather than focusing on the deep-rooted transformation of our hearts which empowers us to give the life-giving love of Christ to our mates.

IV. The solution is threefold:

1. Don’t buy the old lies*

  • I am what I have: Possessions
  • I am what I accomplish: Performance
  • I am what others think of me: Popularity

2. Dress appropriately for your mate

  1. A – AFFIRMATION
  2. W – WARMTH
  3. E – ENCOURAGEMENT

3. Have at least 2 “couples conferences” per week**

  1. What are you concerned about?
  2. What do you wish?
  3. What are you willing to do?

Forgiving - How to Restore Your Peace19 Feb 202600:54:54

When love isn’t enough to hold a marriage together, what is? In this message, Chip shares what we all know about ourselves but are often unwilling to face or admit. The truth he brings has the power to shore up an unstable relationship, mend damaged souls that think there’s no hope, and bring life back to a marriage that’s been dead for years. If you think you’re too far gone, Chip’s going to tell you you’re not. There really is a way to find the joy and peace you’re longing for in your marriage.

Three major reasons we have shame:

  1. A theological reason – we ALL have shame.
  2. Shame from things DONE to us.
  3. Shame of things that we DO.

Three natural responses:

  1. To HIDE.
  2. To NUMB the pain.
  3. To COMPENSATE.

John 21:1-19

Principles:

  1. Jesus MEETS us where we are.
  2. Jesus gently DEMANDS that we face the truth about ourselves.
  3. Jesus AFFIRMS our value and our worthiness by commissioning us to service.

Practical implications:

  1. You can’t forgive your mate until you have RECEIVED both forgiveness and restoration. -Ephesians 4:32
  2. EXPERIENCE God’s forgiveness and restoration.
  3. Freely GIVE what you have received.

Tools for transformation:

D – DEFINE the issue clearly.

E – ENTER the pain and hurt.

F – Ask for FORGIVENESS.

U – UNDERSTAND the process.

  • Phase 1: Forgive
  • Phase 2: Forgiving
  • Phase 3: Forgiven

SSET things right between you.

  • Own your responsibility
  • Confess: “I was wrong.”
  • Ask: “Will you forgive me?”
  • Answer: “Yes, I forgive you.”

E – ESTABLISH a specific game plan to move forward.

Let’s face it - marriage is a lot of hard work! Sometimes the daily grind, responsibilities, challenges, finances, and conflicting values, conspire to make you want to give up. Where do you find hope to keep going and stay faithful to your commitment? In this message, Chip brings a simple, very doable plan to help you find hope. This is a practical, how-to explanation of how to have a marriage that works - for both of you! Don’t miss it!

Biblical practices great marriages have in common:

  • Love
  • Hope

Jesus gives hope to His bride, the Church:

  • John 14:1-21
  • Hope is a picture of the future that says, what we are doing today is going to produce a better tomorrow.

Principles:

  1. Long-term planning provides HOPE and PERSPECTIVE to overcome short-term pain and challenges.
  2. Great plans provide a specific PATH and create HOPE for tomorrow and forever.
  3. Hope rises and falls with how we keep our PROMISES.

Practical implications:

  1. If you fail to PLAN, you plan to FAIL.
  2. If you don’t have a plan, you don’t have HOPE.

Tools for transformation:

1. Clarity

  • You are a trophy of God’s grace – you share hope when you share your brokenness.
  • Assignment: Add 10 years – see the goal, plan to get there.

2. Structure – work together on:

  • Finances
  • Calendars

3. If necessary, get outside help

Serving - How to Deepen Your Love11 Feb 202600:54:16

Did you know there’s a single word that sums up the whole of a happy marriage? It’s the key to everything you’ve ever wanted in a secure, satisfying marriage relationship. In this message, Chip shares the missing link to most failing marriages and why it’s central to enjoying the marriage you’ve always hoped for. If you have a good marriage, what Chip shares will help you build on that success and deepen the love you’re already experiencing.

How do you keep love alive?

  • Ephesians 5:25-33
  • Very rarely, do we take how Jesus loves the Church and use that as our model for how we are to love one another in marriage.
  • Your marriage is not just about your PERSONAL fulfillment. -John 13:1-17, 33-35
  • Other than the Church of Jesus Christ, your relationship with your mate is the single most powerful testimony of the reality of God.

Principles:

  1. Love is not a FEELING.
  2. Love is SERVING. -Philippians 2:3-4
  3. Love must be RECEIVED.
  4. Love is UNCONDITIONAL.

Practical Implications:

  1. Love is a CHOICE.
  2. Love MEETS the NEEDS of the one loved.
  3. Love requires extreme HUMILITY and SECURITY.

Learn the five languages of love

  • Words of affirmation
  • Quality time
  • Receiving gifts
  • Acts of service
  • Physical touch

Two clues as to what your love language is:

  • What bothers you the most?
  • What do you ask for the most?

Throughout history, whenever society falls into greater immorality and the tides of violence and hatred rise, God responds in remarkable ways. Chip wraps up his study in Philippians chapter 2 in this program with this astonishing revelation. Join us to learn about the life-changing work God is doing worldwide, and the passionate men and women He is looking for to join Him in His work.

God is always shopping… What is He looking for?

  • Ezekiel 22:30-31
  • 2 Chronicles 16:9

Question: Why does God use some people and not others?

The answer: Philippians 2:19-30

  • Paul CARES! -Philippians 2:19
  • Timothy CARES! -Philippians 2:20-24
  • Epaphroditus CARES! -Philippians 2:25-30

Summary:

  • Timothy and Epaphroditus exemplify the kind of person God uses to fulfill His purposes on Earth.

4 things God is looking for:

  1. Do you have a SERVANT’S heart?
  2. Are you WILLING and AVAILABLE?
  3. Are you FAITHFUL in the assignments God gives you?
  4. Are you LOYAL and TEACHABLE?

Love Obeys06 Feb 202600:33:38

Obedience is the way God says we show our love for Him. In this message, from Philippians, Chapter 2, Chip explores what our part is in obeying, and what God promises to do for His part. He tells us we approach obedience with built-in expectations and that God has already worked in, what we need to work out.

Two critical questions

  1. What can we expect from God?
  2. What does God expect from us?

Church history: Two views concerning God’s expectations

  • J. CALVIN
  • J. ARMINUS

God’s Word rejects both extremes and hold God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility in “biblical tension” and balance.

  • Man’s responsibility -Philippians 2:12
  • God’s sovereignty -Philippians 2:13

How do we “work out” what God has “worked in”?

  • The command: Be a GRATEFUL servant! -Philippians 2:14
  • The purpose: Be a GODLY servant! -Philippians 2:15a
  • The result: Be a BOLD servant! -Philippians 2:15b-16a
  • The motive: Be a JOYFUL servant! -Philippians 16b-18

Love Serves04 Feb 202600:40:20

Did you know God wants you to be great? What does it take to be great in God's eyes? That's the topic in this message, as Chip continues his study of Philippians, Chapter 2. It's actually pretty simple - but it's not easy. Two words: Love serves.

The quest for greatness = UNIVERSAL!

How do we measure greatness?

  • Power = Who and what we control
  • Possessions = What and how much we own
  • Position = Our rank in the pecking order
  • Prestige = Who and how many “look up” to us
  • Productivity = What and how much we accomplish

How do we obtain greatness?

  • Two pathways to greatness:
  1. ASCENDING
  2. DESCENDING
  • True greatness defined = Philippians 2:3-4

How do you experience true greatness?

  • One word = HUMILITY
  • Humility is the channel through which the supernatural power of God’s love flows to heal our deepest hurts and restore our most important relationships.

Following Jesus into greatness - How to be authentically humble:

  1. Humility flows from a specific “mindset”. -Philippians 2:5
  2. We achieve true greatness when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward power and possessions. -Philippians 2:6
  3. We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward position and prestige. -Philippians 2:7
  4. We become truly great when we embrace Christ’s “mindset” toward productivity. -Philippians 2:8
  5. We experience the REWARD of true greatness when we follow Christ’s example of servanthood. -Philippians 2:9-11

Conclusion: God wants you to be great!

  • The acid test of greatness = LOVE
  • The road to greatness = HUMILITY
  • The opportunity for greatness = SERVING

Introduction: “What’s going on?”

  • One of God’s greatest joys is to see His children LOVE EACH OTHER.
  • A prayer that only you can answer -John 17
  • Paul commands what Jesus prayed -Philippians 2:1-2

The context

  • Conflict without - Philippians 1:29-30

The structure

  • If you have any encouragement in Christ,

  • If any tenderness and compassion… - Philippians 2:1

Then make my joy complete by…

  1. Being of the same mind
  2. Maintaining the same love
  3. United in spirit
  4. Intent on one purpose. -Philippians 2:2

The Platinum Rule:

  • “Do unto others as God has already done unto you.”

How to become a more loving person:

  1. Choose to declare war on SELFISHNESS -Philippians 2:3

How To Overcome Boredom and the Blues29 Jan 202600:35:23

With hundreds of cable and satellite channels to choose from, and the 24/7 internet information overload, why is it so easy to feel bored? Chip shares the reason for our boredom, and delivers the God-designed solution for overcoming it!

Introduction: “I was looking for life in all the wrong places.”

  • What is boredom?
  • Why are we bored?
  • Why do “the blues” and boredom go hand-in-hand?
  • Could “boredom” be a gift in disguise?

God’s answer to boredom = Authentic worship

What is Authentic Worship?

  • Definition – Worship is our response to God for who He is and what He has done.
  • Romans 12:1
  • Summary – Worship is the complete and total giving of ourselves for that which we believe has ULTIMATE PURPOSE and will provide the GREATEST REWARD.

3 Principles for authentic worship:

  1. Authentic worship can happen ANYWHERE. -John 4:21-22
  2. Authentic worship flows from the HEART. -John 4:23
  3. Authentic worship is rooted in an ACCURATE view of God and of ourselves. -John 4: 24

How can you experience greater intimacy in worship?

  • Private worship = A.C.T.S.
  • Public worship = The 3 “P’s”

Conclusion: Worship is not a service you come to or an activity you practice; worship is a life-focus, an expression of your deepest longings, passions, and devotion to whom or what you love the most.

How To Overcome Inferiority and Low Self-Image23 Jan 202600:36:02

Do you like who you are? When you look in the mirror do you like what you see? When you think about you, do you like yourself or do you struggle with feelings of inferiority? Join Chip as he shares how you can rise above those feelings of inferiority and a low self-esteem to experience God’s love for you like never before.

Distorted mirrors destroy our lives:

  • The Appearance Mirror
  • The Performance Mirror
  • The Status Mirror

Thesis – Until we see ourselves as God sees us, we are destined to FEEL INFERIOR.

3 keys to a Biblical self-image:

1. Get God’s View of You = KNOWLEDGE

You are significant because:

  • You're UNIQUE -Gen 1:27, Ps 139:13-14
  • You're LOVED -1 Sam 16:7, Jer 31:3
  • You're VALUABLE -1 Cor 6:19-20
  • You're SECURE -Eph 1:13
  • You're INDISPENSIBLE -Eph 2:10, 4:15-16

2. Believe God’s View is True = FAITH

  • Faith is built on God’s Word -Rom 10:17
  • Faith grows through mind renewal -Rom 12:2
  • Develop a plan to remove the distorted mirrors of the world with the mirror of God’s Word -Jam 1:22-24

3. Discover the “You” that’s True = EXPERIENCE

  • Unwrap your SPIRITUAL GIFTS -1 Cor 12, Rom 12
  • Unleash your SPIRITUAL PASSION -Ps 37:4
  • Use your God-given TALENTS -Ex 31:3
  • Embrace your God-given PERSONALITY -1 Cor 2:11
  • Leverage your past EXPERIENCE -Rom 8:28

Ministry is how God makes what’s true “of” us, true “in” us. Sometimes it’s only in the act of “loving others: that we can fathom that we ourselves are loved!

How To Overcome Loneliness and Isolation23 Jan 202600:38:01

There is a place that God created where you can experience authentic love like nowhere else on earth. It’s a place where loneliness is not welcome, and meaningful relationships abound. A community where people can be reconnected to family. Sound like a place you want to go to? Chip reveals where this special place is and how you fit in.

Until loneliness is understood, it overwhelms

  • Loneliness is MORE than being alone.
  • Loneliness WEARS many masks.
  • Loneliness is not a unique malady, but a UNIVERSAL REALITY.

*Resource: Changes that Heal by Henry Cloud

You don’t have to be lonely, because:

  • God CARES about your loneliness. -Gen 2:18
  • Jesus UNDERSTANDS your loneliness. -Mark 15:34
  • Jesus INVITES you into a relationship with Him. -Matt 11:28-30; Rev 3:20
  • A relationship with Jesus means you ALWAYS belong to His family. -Rom 12:5; 1 Jn 1:1-4

How can you experience authentic love and connection in God’s family?

  • By rethinking your view of the CHURCH.
  • By revising your approach to RELATIONSHIPS.
  1. Realize your NEED.
  2. Move toward OTHERS.
  3. Be VULNERABLE.
  4. Challenge distorted THINKING.
  5. Take RISKS.
  6. Be EMPATHETIC -- listen, listen, listen!
  7. Trust GOD -- pray, pray, pray!

Summary: To “lick loneliness,” you gotta BELONG!

  • Informal steps + formal strategies = A “connected” community of love.
